With the weather doing it's best to get the game called off, and after 3 previous attempt's we finally headed off for the much anticipated playoff to get to the semi final of the league cup. this weeks line up saw the return of Liam in goal after his brocken arm, with Henry, Jack, David, Bren, Charle's and coming off there sick bed's Brandan and Sam making up the Hawks team.................

With the Hawks kicking up hill in the first half we got the game underway, The hawks were straight on the attack but from a long clearance down hill, and 3 chances to clear the ball found themselfs one down, with a neat finish bottom corner, 1 0 sporting, we do love to concede an early goal.
The hawks just dusted themselfs down and within 4 minute's were level from some great pass and move football seeing Charles get his first of the afternoon a great strike coming of the heel of a defender and in (dubious panel Charles goal) 1 1.
The Hawks were flying and some of the football was a pleasure to watch, Charle's, david and Bren all had goal bound effort's saved, Jack and Brandan were in no mood to concede the midfield battle and Henry was marshalling the back line well, with the hawks pressing up another good break saw sporting 77s forward get on the end of a clearance turn and hit a good shot past the diving Liam 2 1 Sporting .
With sporting going down hill the first half we knew we had to keep it tight, still the hawks kept pressing and had most of the game David and Charles were pulling the defenders all over the place , it was Jack who got the hawks level when brandan won a fantastic challenge laid it across to jack who let let fly one of his "WASPY" shots past the sporting keeper, 2 2 lets keep it tight !!!!!!
Brandan having been totally dominant in the middle was starting to feel ill , so Sam who was also not well stepped in to a left back roll , The Hawks were pressing for a third and after some great runs down the wings from david and Bren we got our just rewards from a cross Charles had turned on a six pence and cracked another goal in 3 2 Hawks, Halftime approaching Brandan came back on to sure it up till halftime, 3 2 Hawks

The boy's were in fine mood today and with the hill on there side now they were brimming with confidence, Sporting kicked off the second half and got there second corner of the match early, from the resulting corner there striker has hit a cracking shot only for Liam to pull off a superb save down to his right, Liam's big clearance found Jack who slipped it to Sam, Back to Brandan who found Charles who let fly goal 4 2 Hawks awsome football....
The Hawks were on form and had a string of corner's which saw Brandan get on the end of one and hit the post, Sam just missing the up right and, David letting one fly just over, David was next to get on the score sheet  with a mazy run finding charles who passed it back to David who popped it home 5 2 Hawks ....
Sporting are a very resiliant side and got another goal back from a good piece of football seeing a nice one two followed up with a thumping shot past Liam  5 3 .
The Boys were not going to be denied the chance to play Broomfield in the semi's and should of scored from another Waspy corner when the ball got cleared off the line 3 times from some fantastic defending from Sporting, With only 7 mins left Charles got his forth of the game with a strike from outside the box straight into the bottom right hand corner 6 3 Hawks.
Sporting were pushing forward and got a free kick from just outside the Hawks box, with the wall set there player has curled it over the top and out of no were Liam has pulled off a cracking save pushing it past the post,Liam again made a great save from the resulting corner getting down low and holding it (THURSDAY NIGHTS ARE WORKING) but Sporting did find the net again before the end to make it 6 4 fulltime........

This was well worth the wait and the Hawks desreved there place in the semi's,i don't think i have seen a better team performance from the boys for a long time, The Training is paying off lad's, myself and Pete as well as all your parent's are very proud WELL DONE BOY'S....

Man Of The Match could of gone to all 8 player's today, but we wittled it down to two with the returning Liam in goal when called upon made some crucial save's and the right time, but Charle's got the nod for his four goal's and all round forward's play a truelly outstanding performance WELL DONE..................
The score was 6-4.
